The performance follows a day of speeches centered on the theme of gun control reform, with speakers including Lee Daniels, Angela Bassett and survivors of the Orlando nightclub shooting taking the stage to stand behind Hillary Clinton.

Daniels told the crowd, "We need to take action, and we need to take action now," stating his support of Hillary Clinton. "There's only one candidate willing to take on the gun lobby and keep our families safe."

The Broadway performance had the crowd in Philadelphia on their feet singing along, concluding with a loud "Love trumps hate" chant in the audience.
